Get a Cryorig H7 instead of the 212 Evo

Maybe some mass storage?

Get windows from /r/microsoftsoftwareswap for $25

Get a 24 inch monitor for a few bucks more

Sub $1500 i7/1070

Fixed the merchants to just Amazon and Newegg for easier shipping.

^consider a 23-24" for $10-20 more

^Btw if you're just gaming on 1080p, a 1070 is overkill maybe just stick to the 1060(?)
Keyboard: Corsair STRAFE RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard  ($139.95) 

^Get this on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2bnqDce
Total: $1476.40 - $10 rebate = $1466.40

 

If you visit the partpicker link it says there it's over $1500 but refer to the base total since you won't be paying for the shipping fees.

 

Cryorig H7 cpu cooler: http://bit.ly/2brzRnG -wait till price goes down to $35
